as promised

part one of seven [ one . two . three . four . five . six & seven ]
I've decided to use 'keynote' to build an interactive quicktime movie slideshow for the bike trip photos... I've grouped them into 100 each to cut down on file size for readers with slower internet connections.

Now, this is a bit experimental - I'd like to hear some feedback on this decision. Should I instead just post them 20 pic's at a time? Should I upload a large PDF? Should I try something I haven't thought of?

Okay, without any further procrastination - here are the first 100 random pic's from our pacific bike trip. Enjoy & don't forget the feedback. I've got 500 more of these things to share.

note: For those of you out there still dragging your feet with 56k, I recommend you right click here and "save target as".

[update] I've tried to find a way to save the slideshow mov' file as a streaming quickstart, but I'm not having any luck. So unfortunately the whole 13 MBs have to download before you can start clicking... please be patient.

Hey, if no one complains, then nothing is wrong - and I'll keep posting them this way.

My only beef with it is that the whole 13 MBs has to load before it starts letting you view the show. Other than that - I really like it.

I admire you guys for loading so much on your bike. I have been riding my bike daily and I am SOOO out of shape, I wouldn't even survive a few minutes with so much stuff on the back of mine.
